VS 2010 and .NET FX 4 available as Community Technology Preview version(CTP)

Some one asked me get an article on VS2010 and .NET FX 4 (codenamed Rosario).
As i did not had much of time to write a complete article on this. I found some of the following links and details. These might help to get basic to start.
1 . Download CTP details
First and the best part is the Commnity Preview is available as Virtual PC(VPC) environment containing VS 2008 and pre-release of VS2010. As VPC's are pre-configured, that will help to quick start, with out installtion and configuration. But the pre-requesite is to have Virtual PC 2007 in your system.
Check the following link to download the CTP and details of the download
